<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swick, post: 275898, member: 7587&quot;]You need to remember folks, until 1999 with the introduction of the State Quarters, the mint did not sell coins by the roll or bag to individuals - at least not outside the Mint Gift Shops. Starting with the SQ&#039;s they sold them, then the Sackys, then the Kennedy halves, then the nickels and now the Pres. dollars. But that&#039;s it. In other words, except for the Kennedy halves they only sell special program coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>That is only partially true also. The US Mint did not sell rolls of the State Quarters until the New Hampshire Quarter. The first 8 states were not sold by the US Mint. I guess they then saw that there was a buck to be made in selling the rolls in &quot;mint wrappers&quot;, then they started selling State Quarter Rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>swick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
